About this book

E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was a universally gifted artist, musician, lawyer and writer whose fantastic tales and romantic fairy stories have had a decisive influence on world literature. This handbook reflects the current state of research with information on the wide diversity of his fields of activity, on the historical and aesthetic prerequisites for his literary, musical and legal work, on the individual works themselves, on the history of their reception and on systematic aspects such as mediality, poetics, character drawing etc. In addition, it provides a comprehensive bibliography together with short biographies of people connected with Hoffmann.

Reviews

"Insgesamt ist das Hoffmann-Handbuch ein ‘Muss‘ für jeden, der sich mit diesem Autor befasst, da es den Stand der Einsicht darstellt (und partiell selbst schafft), an den man fortan anzuschließen hat. Das Handbuch wird das intellektuelle Vergnügen an der Auseinandersetzung mit diesem faszinierenden Autor gewiss auch stimulieren, schon weil die Zusammenstellung so vielfältigen Hoffmann-Wissens den Weg für weitere Fragestellungen und Forschungen ebnet."
Monika Schmitz-Emans in: Zeitschrift für Germanistik 2/2010

"Dieses vorzügliche Handbuch zerstreut [...] endgültig das Klischee vom bloß unterhaltsamen ››Gespenster-Hoffmann‹‹. Ausführliche Artikel zum literarischen Gesamtwerk stehen [...] im Zentrum."
Alexander Košenina in: Germanistik 3-4/2009
